Variations on a Theme [off the deep end]...OR This is not, I repeat, not fanfic...I do not write fanfic... :she says as she falls deeper down the rabbit hole...:

Howdy, Readers!

Some of the lines in today's comic are direct quotes, but I took a LOT of artistic license! Thanks, Dr. A and dr. ks for your contributions!  

***Call for Guest Comics***: Due to some upcoming events, I may be forced to take a few weeks off in May and June. If you'd like to help me out and draw a guest comic for me, I'd love it! Virtually anything is fine, actual comics or just drawings (as long as it isn't blatantly offensive and doesn't include too much colorful language). Your piece would need to be complete and submitted to me by May 1st. Send me an email at thebookoflael@gmail.com if you're interested! 

Ok, on to the comic! Scroll down for some images I ended up not using in this week's comic! 

Non-stop? I haven't seen it yet, but I'll tell you what was non-stop...(Note: This dude is not a patient. He just hangs out at the office while his wife is there.)

The cake is chocolate frosted with Funfetti cake inside! Only the best boxed mix for my boys!

Thank you so much to everyone who has given me so much support over the years. So much has changed in the last five years, and wow, you and this comic have gotten me through! Sometimes the deepest darkness brings the light...This comic saved me in so many ways as did all of you who have supported it--from those first chuckles for my tea party, you gave me the courage to survive losing the thing I thought mattered most but to gain something else just as important. 

Check out all of the insular tea parties/birthday parties over the years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013!

These movies, more than anything, are marked by a lack of communication and incredible awkwardness I try desperately to avoid in my real life. OR Maybe this is why I mostly watch Hollywood action movies and police procedurals...
